Biography
Dr. Vanya Bhushan earned her Ph.D. from National Dairy Research Institute in 2022 and joined the Nita-Lazar lab in the spring of 2023. Her project at NIAID focuses on quantifying cellular protein abundance changes within subcellular compartments of host innate immune cells upon time course challenge with PAMPs/Vita-PAMPs from viable/non-viable whole cells, with activation of complex TLR/PRR signaling networks and their cross talk. Her interest primarily lies in quantitative mass spectrometry approaches to study cell signaling mechanisms.
